Moving in Tacoma with a Seattle crew

Tacoma sits about 35 miles south of our Seattle office, straight down I-5. Most of the Tacoma jobs we take are one of two kinds: a household moving within Pierce County, or a family relocating between Tacoma and Seattle, Bellevue or the Eastside. In both cases the same crew loads and unloads, so nothing changes hands in between, and we schedule the drive so the truck reaches your new place with the day still ahead of you.

The city's housing tells us what to expect before we arrive. North End and Proctor are full of Craftsman and Tudor houses from the 1910s and 1920s with narrow staircases, enclosed porches and basements reached from outside. The Stadium District adds steep streets where the truck parks on a grade. Downtown, Point Ruston and the Museum District are condo territory: elevator reservations, loading docks with time limits and furniture that has to fit a freight elevator. We ask about all of this on the phone and plan the crew size and equipment around it.

What we move in Tacoma

Houses and apartments of every size, from a studio near the University of Washington Tacoma campus to a four-bedroom home in Northeast Tacoma. Offices, clinics and small shops in the downtown core. Senior downsizing moves from a long-time family house to an apartment or care community, where we work at the pace the family sets. Loading and unloading only, when you have your own rental truck or a storage container and just need the lifting done. Packing and unpacking, with the boxes, paper and wardrobe cartons brought by us.

Every crew travels with floor runners, door-jamb protectors, moving blankets, shrink wrap and dollies, and furniture is wrapped before it leaves the room. Beds, tables and other furniture are taken apart and reassembled at the new address at no extra step on your side.

Questions about moving in Tacoma

Do you charge extra for the drive from Seattle to Tacoma?

Travel time is part of the estimate we send you before the move, so you see the full picture up front. There is no separate surcharge added on the day.

Can you handle a condo move at Point Ruston or downtown Tacoma?

Yes. We ask for the building's move-in rules, reserve the elevator window with you and bring the protection the building requires for hallways and elevator cabs.

How far ahead should I book a Tacoma move?

Two to three weeks is comfortable for weekdays. Weekends and the last days of the month fill first, so book those as early as you can. Same-day help is sometimes possible; call and ask.
